Salme sewing patterns

I’m probably way behind the times here, but I recently stumbled across the delightful independent sewing pattern company - Salme - which is based in England. Their simple yet chic designs really appeal to my minimalist side...and my tuck-adoring, peplum-loving side! The creator, Elisa, simply describes herself as an ‘architect turned textile designer with a degree in patternmaking’, which just magnifies the intrigue!

Some of my favourite Salme sewing patterns, which are only available as downloadable PDFs, include:

You can buy the reasonably-priced Salme patterns on Etsy and there's also a blog featuring sewing tips, tutorials and useful links. Best of all, I spotted a cute little freebie on there too:

Have you sewn up a Salme pattern before? What did you think? I’m debating which one to try out first!

Hi Marie, Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I have checked out the Etsy store and am very impressed with the quality of the patterns and the VERY reasonable cost! I will definitely be making some of these... Sam xox

The blouse is a little Tilly-esque indeed! It's not button back though, is it?

In other news, has anyone ever told you you look a little bit like Anais Nin? Just saw this pin and immediately thought of you: http://pinterest.com/pin/244320348504800021/Not that I knew what Anais Nin looked like before...

The white blouse is by far the best, but yes, the sought-after back button feature is definitely missing!

Nope to the Anais Nin question by the way...I didn't even know who she was until your comment! I can see that we have the same shape face, lips etc. Her eyes are bigger than mine, but there is a resemblance there...interesting!

Hi Marie! I am your newest follower! Saw your post about Salme Patterns - I will be hosting a giveaway to win a pack of patterns from Salme on my blog - would love it if you would check it out - http://pixiepatternandsewing.blogspot.com
